A Tahoe would actually be an improvement for me in terms of fuel efficency and fuel cost.

I have to run 93 for the supercharger and I average about 15/16 MPG during a normal week. Not having a car payment makes it easier to digest.

I use my legs enough as it is. I ran over 100 miles this year in just races, not sure the total with training.

Our Wally doesn't have a gas station, but the one at the end of the road where I work I get 3 cents off. Too bad that is one of the stations that is usually 10 cents higher so it doesn't pay.

Filled the sled last night - thanked my forethought for not getting a sled that requires 93 octane. Cost 35 bucks with just regular gas.

Which (hold your breath now) is pretty much what a Canadian dollar is these days. It's $1.000:$1.001 according to my currency rates from today.

We're paying $1.14 per Litre, for CANADIAN gas. that's about $4.32/US Gallon.

I should have converted all my U.S. cash to Canadian when it was 1.75CND to 1 USD.

Now I can get that Smart car I've always wanted.
